Sunrise Kootenay Lake

Sunrise Clouds

By News & Blog

Sunrise photo of the clouds on Kootenay Lake taken a few days ago, which was rather dramatically epic, and I did considered turning into a black and white but loved the colour variation. The refection of the clouds on the water were pristine, and I did also capture an hour long GoPro timelpase which is on my Instagram.

 

From Wikipedia

Kootenay Lake is a lake located in British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Kootenay River. The lake has been raised by the Corra Linn Dam and has a dike system at the southern end, which, along with industry in the 1950s–70s, has changed the ecosystem in and around the water. The Kootenay Lake ferry is a year-round toll-free ferry that crosses between Kootenay Bay and Balfour. The lake is a popular summer tourist destination.

Kootenay Lake Osprey

By News & Blog

I was lucky enough to to get this eye level shot of this Osprey flying through rain yesterday on Kootenay Lake, if you have a zoom in you can see the rain drops too.

 

From Wikipedia

The osprey (Pandion haliaetus), /ˈɒspri, –preɪ/,[2] also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.

The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.

As its other common names suggest, the osprey’s diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion, and family, Pandionidae.

Mount Loki

Mount Loki

By News & Blog

A recent photo a took of Mount Loki in the Purcell Mountains.

In Norse mythology, Loki is a deceptive trickster, causing trouble and strife among the realms of the gods. And Mount Loki is no different. With false summits, an intimidating profile, and a fierce ascent, Mount Loki challenges hikers to make it to the summit. The reward is top-of-the-world views of the Purcell Mountains and distant Kootenay Lake.
